Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 There’s always a slow episode in a season, and I think we’ve come to accept that. Silo Season 3 Episode 4 is that hour, where we find that some characters’ storylines have stagnated, and it’s really only the end that saves it. The past storyline seems a little unnecessary,

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 There were plenty of questions about whether another spinoff of The Big Bang Theory was really needed, but when you get into Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, you’ll know it was. This series takes four of the minor but beloved characters from The Big Bang Theory‘s universe, Stuart

Some interviews begin with research. Others begin decades earlier, in a small family room with everyone crowded around the television. On November 20, 1983, I was a college freshman home for Thanksgiving break when my family gathered to watch The Day After. Nearly 100 million Americans did the same, but the experience never felt communal

Saying goodbye to The Chi was never going to be easy. After eight seasons, these characters became more than people viewers watched every week. They became family. The finale delivered the emotional sendoff longtime fans deserved. Getting there, though, was a much bumpier ride than it should have been. (Sandy Morris/Paramount+) Let’s start with what

The first season of From was a genuine masterpiece — great premise, acting, and production qualities. But in Season 2, things took a different turn when the story started piling on more mysteries while adding numerous characters. By the third season, it felt like the story was going around in circles with the writers having

I don’t know why Days of Our Lives would write such an important story about Holly Jonas without involving Nicole or Eric. No, Nicole’s off-screen visit does not count. I’m aware that Arianne Zucker left the soap opera on bad terms. However, I had hoped Peacock would have reached out to her to arrange a

Critic’s Rating: 4.6 / 5.0 4.6 Damn, I knew John Sugar wasn’t going to do it, but seeing him lower the gun still got me. Well, I kept waiting for John to choose a different path in Sugar Season 2 Episode 6, but Vega arresting Danny Moon changed everything. And watching John try to do

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Did anyone else expect Cape Fear to save all the answers for its series finale? I sure did, as the series has veered into thriller and horror territory with a nauseating intensity that shows no sign of letting up. But Cape Fear Season 1 Episode 9 did all of

The premiere opens in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the Comic Center of Pasadena is (somehow) still standing. There, Stuart and Bert are visited by another version of Stuart — presumably from the original “Big Bang” universe — who informs them that Leonard, Sheldon, and Howard built a machine capable of restoring reality to the way

It’s rare for the drama to be off the charts this early on Big Brother. But Rick Devens knew exactly what he was doing when he nominated Jason, Lyric, and Melody for eviction. When the Big Brother live feeds switched back on following Friday evening’s nominations ceremony, there was yelling, tears, and plenty of strategy

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 When making something as beloved as Heartstopper, veering from what’s familiar can feel like betrayal. Darker themes, more explicit sexuality, and the nuances of life can rob it of those cozy qualities that make it worth getting lost in for several hours. But then, a narrative that shows no

There are interviews that begin with a carefully planned question, and then there are interviews with Judith Light, which begin with an enthusiastic discussion about a $15 Amazon purse that looks significantly more expensive than it is. “That’s a great purse,” Light said almost immediately after sitting down with me at the Italian Global Series

The best television makes you feel things. And the best television characters make you feel everything. Hell, The Vampire Lestat alone has risen to the occasion, delivering characters so complex and performances so remarkable that we’re on the third consecutive year of wondering why this adaptation doesn’t get the award recognition it deserves. But let’s

Few places capture a winter wonderland better than a charming and rustic ski lodge, and Linden’s Lodge is the ideal setting for Snowbound for the Holidays. Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner are both Hallmark veterans, but despite that, they’ve never worked together… until now! And not only did they serve as a dynamic duo in

Does anyone like this story about Sarah accusing Holly of using drugs without any evidence whatsoever? It can’t just be me, can it? If you’re as annoyed by it as I am, I have bad news: Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 7-20-26 intensify the false accusation for entirely stupid reasons. (Peacock/Screenshot)

After 20 seasons, Married at First Sight has finally stopped pretending it’s a social experiment about love. It’s embracing what it’s actually been for years: a reality show fueled by chaos, conflict, and irresistible mess. And frankly, I’m perfectly content with that. (Jim Bennett/Peacock) For pretty much its entire run, the US versions of this

It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours in the Big Brother house, with Ashley blowing up her game and getting evicted in a landslide 14-0 vote. The second round of the game got into full swing in the aftermath, with Survivor alum Rick Devens winning the second Head of Household competition of Big Brother Season 28.

After a year of waiting, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is finally coming back! This August, the longest-running live-action sitcom is returning with its eighteenth season. Ahead of the premiere, FX has released a synopsis for what the upcoming episodes will cover. (Patrick McElhenney/FX) In this article, we’re breaking down everything covered by the teaser,

My Life With the Walter Boys is FINALLY back! That means we’ll find out what happened to George and get ready for 10 all-new episodes about Jackie’s ongoing attempt to fit in with the Walters as she figures out who she is and who she wants to be. The new trailer just dropped, and some

As a millennial who grew up watching “SNL”in the years that Will Ferrell rose through its ranks, I’m always ready to dive head-first into any of his new projects. (My “Old School” viewings alone have probably hit triple digits by now, and my love for “Eurovision Song Contest” grows exponentially every time I hear “Jaja

It’s been an interesting first week of Big Brother Season 28. The long-running reality TV juggernaut brought in 14 new houseguests in a house with three reality TV legends. We’ve already gotten a showmance and some wild nominations, and we’re now looking ahead to the rest of the week. (CBS/Screenshot) Dee Valladares won the crucial

Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie was heartwarming and wholesome. It expanded on the Ingalls’ experiences in Kansas in such an enjoyable manner. It also expanded on the cast and characters, which was one of the best changes from the book. However, that change may have been bittersweet. (Eric Zachanowich/Netflix) I grew attached to several

Max Cady does not need to be in the room to ruin your life. That is the whole point of Apple TV’s Cape Fear, and Javier Bardem has made sure we understand it by the end of the very first episode. This version of Cady stripped away the cartoonish theatrics of past incarnations and replaced

We had a lot of catching up to do when the Big Brother live feeds finally opened Friday evening. As TV Fanatic previously reported, Dee won the first Head of Household competition of the summer and celebrated her win by nominating Mallory, Taylor, and Yash for eviction. Once the feeds came online, the house dynamics

Critic’s Rating: 4.6 / 5.0 4.6 It’s always going to be Louis and Lestat. The crux of this story, the one being told to us through this medium, has consistently returned to the same central theme. You strip it all down, lay it bare, and there are two things at the center: Louis de Pointe

When it comes to support, Penelope Garcia has always been there on Criminal Minds. She delves into the research and digitally shuts down UnSubs in real time. However, Criminal Minds Season 19 has offered Garcia a chance to do more and to help bring an end to a gunfight. Literally! (Michael Yarish/Paramount+) It’s something Kirsten

When NCIS: Tony & Ziva first premiered, I didn’t have Paramount+, and I wasn’t about to get yet another streaming platform just for one series. By the time the streamer’s catalog sparked more interest for me, whether it was FROM (here in Canada) or Dutton Ranch, the primary issue was that it had already canceled

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 4.5 There’s something oddly refreshing about a mob drama that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That’s not to say The Westies isn’t brutal. It opened with one of its own holding a Gambino underboss at gunpoint and ended with the same guy on the warehouse floor. The bloodshed is real,

Elin Hilderbrand’s The Five-Star Weekend was Peacock’s latest book-to-screen adaptation. It premiered on July 9. Six months after her husband dies, Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner) gathers her closest friends from various stages of her life as a way to help her escape her overwhelming grief. There is her childhood friend Tatum (Chloë Sevigny), her college
